Patching Up

Description

Well, I've found a use for it. The body of this flying machine is so banged up in places, that I'm going to need to reinforce it if I ever hope to fly.

Dorain over there has been telling me that the taunka use steam cured caribou leather for making watertight containers. Marsh caribou live all around the village and in the Flood Plains to the south. Get the best hides you can find and cure them over the steam vents in the Geyser Fields.

Vent at 68.22, 23.88

Comment by Gray08

This felt slightly vague in the description. I was trying to use the Hides next to the vents/geysers which had steam shooting out of them -Its not them though. Look around and you will see small vents which have red plants surrounding them.

Comment by LazerFun

The Vents are also right outside the camp eg. 75,32

Comment by WARBOSZ

Good to pair up with the quests Souls of the Decursed and Cleaning Up the Pools - you'll probably end up killing off Fizzcranks as you go along and find the spare parts.

For the Horde!

Yes . You need to kill all sort of deers, gazelles in green part neighborhood (i.e. 70.40), which they drop hide's. Those hides you taking to small geysers with flowers around (i.e. 68.35) and turn them into Steam cured hide.

Start off by killing the Marsh Caribou's Located right outside of the Village to get the Uncured Caribou Hide. Drop rate sucks (20.0%).

Once you get 5 take them to the Geyser Fields (66.28). Approach any pillar (Geyser) that has steam coming & red plants near it, and stand next to it, right click your Uncured Caribou Hide stack and it will turn them into Steam Cured Hide

Comment by Glenngunner

Don't forget to watch what happens after you complete.

Comment by mecheye

The vents look totally different depending on your graphics settings. My vents looked white and i have everything on low.

Comment by masmcknight

This is a fairly easy quest there will be some (caribou) near the camp were you pick the quest up the drop rate is pretty hi it took me about 5 minutes. after you collected 5 of there hides bring then to these steam vents there easy to find if you have quest helper. you can just click hear. Ok so if you already have it the objective box will show up one the map that's the steam vents. stand in the steam when you have all of your hides and your standing in the steam right click your hides and that will give you the quest credit.....good liuck

Geartwist: It's really going to work this time....right?Geartwist: It works, Dorain! Look! It actually works...Geartwist: Here I goooooooooo!

He gets inside the flying machine and starts flying really slow in a circle. The plane explodes and he falls out.

Geartwist: OUCH! Geartwist: I give up! So much for goblin ingenuity!

Comment by Bobtheskull

I just did this quest and had something odd happen.

I picked up 5 hides and made my way to a vent. My inventory was full so I dropped something thinking the cured hides would stack. However, when I attempted to cure a second hide, I was told that my inventory was full. So I dropped something else and the cured hides stacked anyways! So I wound up with one empty spot for no particular reason. Was a little strange.

Comment by Komprex

The enemies are not marked in any way so read carefully: 1) kill Marsh Caribou's (outside the village at 78,33) until you have five "Uncured Caribou Hide" 2) go to 66,30 and stand on the hill by the steam vents 3) open the bag and push at the quest items you recieved earlier to steam them

Comment by AleeniaWoW216

Basically, what I found, was a large hole with red flowers growing around it... it looked EXACTLY like the other ones, but it had no steam blowing out of it... and was too high so I couldnt stand directly on it. I'd suggest standing right up next to it :) Pretty easy to find, actually, once you know what to look for.

Comment by JHarker

I did this quest (chain) right after the quests from the D.E.H.T.A's encampment.

Comment by cufflebump

I found this quest pretty frustrating. There are TONS of things about that fit the definition of "steam vent" in that they are, judging by their appearance, "venting steam", but it's incredibly picky about the one you actually use. It took me a while to find one, even when I was in the area it said they were. I stood inside the things which looked to me as if they were "steam vents" (again, visually they appeared to be VENTING STEAM), but it kept saying that they were not, in fact, "steam vents".

People in the comments often mention one with red flowers or some such around it, but I couldn't find it and that is not the one I used. I used a regular white one at 66, 29, and the only difference visually was that every now and then it would spew a tad more steam than the others.

Comment by CrimsonLarkspur

this quest was quite annoying... even most of the geysers with red flowers did not work for me. I only found one that worked, a taller, skinnier geyser with flowers and white steam shooting out. It was on the border of the geyser fields, with the shades and pools of water.

Comment by Kozzie

Confirmed 71,28 - was able to cure all five hides - downvoted the original because of the statement "look around" really - simply adding coordinates would have been better.
